electric traction system

Hello everyone,I'm a student in electromechanical engineering and i received a difficult question for my exam and i need to answer it. But i don't know how to start and which steps follow to answer. So i decided to ask your help. I know the question is long so i will understand if anyone doesn't want to answer. But all idea or solutions will be appreciated and thanked.Here is the question and the given data's:

In electric traction systems with power electronic converters measures are needed to avoid DC link voltage instability, associated with large supply line current fluctuations. This can be analysed on lab scale with the model described below. The DC power supply, including overhead line, is simulated by means of a transformer fed diode rectifier and a 10 mH reactance. The traction system itself is modelled by a DC-link capacitor (15000 μF), a power transistor and a freewheeling diode connected to compose a chopper. The traction system input reactance is simulated as part of the previously mentioned 10 mH reactance. The traction motor is simulated by means of a DC motor with series connected field windings, loaded with a DC generator. Analyse by means of simulation the control measures that have to be taken to damp the fluctuations, with minimal loss of torque control dynamic performance, which is needed for anti-skid control by the traction system.

Evaluation criteria are as follows: Quality of the mathematical models and the simulation models; Quality of transfer functions used for the control analysis. Quality of the proposed solutions (8); Adequacy of the proposed control systems (4); Quality of the simulations, in particular taking into account the non-linear behaviour (4); Quality of the controls, in particular with respect to the damping of the fluctuations and preservation of the control dynamics (4).

Several years ago I wrote my Electrical TQ, where several questions involved long sequential calculations. It was relatively easy as the concepts where 'top of mind', thanks to the fact that I had just spent 3 months in school studying those specific concepts. I couldn't do those calculations today without substantial review.

The point is, your best resources for assistance will likely be a paid professional working in the field, or one of your classmates that has the subject 'top of mind'.
